National Science Foundation Groundbreaking

On Monday, January 27, 2014 The National Science Foundation (NSF) broke ground on their new headquarters initiating a new phase of construction at the Hoffman Town Center in the City of Alexandria. NCR Regional Administrator Julia E. Hudson joined State, City and agency officials including the Honorable Congressman James P. Moran, Mayor of Alexandria William D. Euille, and Acting Director of NSF Dr. Cora B. Marrett.The GSA awarded lease will not only save the American taxpayer $65 million over the 15 year lease term, but will also feature a rental rate that is 30% below market and a $35 million developer contribution to offset the cost of the move from NSF’s current location in Arlington, VA.The relocation of the NSF headquarters is expected to generate $99 million annually in ongoing direct and indirect benefits for the city.
